After, they decide to get away. There is so much to get away from; even Muggles know that they were important for something, somewhere, though it generally materializes in people thinking they’d gone to school together.

Harry's never been anywhere, not even to the seaside for hols, and Neville's not been much further than that, but the idea of it enchants them. They drop off the Wizarding map and into the States, taking everything slowly. The problem with magic is how it let them skip over the details. How it let them skip over life.

verona beach christmas in july! prompt was oranges.

It doesn't feel quite like Christmas, but Dominic is used to that after New Zealand, seasons all upside down and backwards. Dominic has a gift for creating space for himself wherever, whenever, so when he gives all he has there is a place to come back to. He has help now; Oz is a scavenger, finding the little things, the magic.

Tonight Oz produces oranges like a magician, one in each palm, wrapped in red tissue paper crinkling. They take them down to the beach, curl together on the sand, flicking away the white bits, talking of everything and nothing.
